Description Morgan Leijström 2012-05-06 00:39:29 CEST 
Description of problem:

I stumbled on a case ( bug 5704 ) where the installer asks if i want to install another package, and it say it on the form 

"Package NN is needed. Do you want to install it?"

Instead of anticipated YES and NO buttons there are the BACK and NEXT buttons.

Pressing BACK seem to mean NO plus immediately continues installation.
Pressing NEXT immediately continues installation of not only the asked package, but also what i believe are many dependencies.


If it is already decided the package really is needed, why ask?

I think it should say it is *suggested* - and by what would be nice.

It should also list *all* packages it would install if YES in a scroll box.

There should be buttons named YES and NO

If possible to take user back (to make changes) there should also be a BACK button.


How reproducible: Very, see bug 5704#c6
